Between all the construction outside the Holland Tunnel (the Hudson St. entrance is closed and construction on West St.) and football traffic at the Lincoln Tunnel, the George Washington Bridge may be the best choice even if it's out of the way.

If you're headed to the game, my extra point would be to ride NJTransit right to the stadium. Fans coming through New York Penn Station can go one stop to Secaucus and transfer to a Meadowlands train, but fans beware: During the afternoon rush hour, not all trains stop at Secaucus, with several trains running express and bypassing the station. Make sure you see "SEC" on the board next to a scheduled departure time. Fans can also take PATH to Hoboken from the 33rdSt. or World Trade Center stops and go directly to the Meadowlands from there.

There's also regular service on the 351 bus from the Port Authority Bus Terminal.

The protesters of Occupy Wall Street are still going strong in Zuccotti Park at Liberty St. and Broadway. The surprise protests will keep on coming, so follow me at www.twitter.com/GridlockSam for the latest updates.

Broadway between 59th and 65th Sts. by Columbus Circle will be closed from 9p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly through Saturday morning for resurfacing.

W. 145th and 146th Sts., between Lenox and Bradhurst Aves., in upper Manhattan, will be closed from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly through Saturday morning for resurfacing.

FROM THE MAILBAG

Dear Gridlock Sam,

Can you tell me when the entrance ramp to the Gowanus Expressway (toward the Battery Tunnel) at Prospect and Third Aves. will reopen? It was supposed to reopen on Sept. 8, but it still remains closed. I called 311 and no one seems to know the answer.

Dear readers,

And that's why you write to Gridlock Sam! After some construction-related delays, work on the ramp is about 99.9% complete, with some minor tweaks still to come over the next week. The reopeningis now set for next Monday. If that changes, I'll let you know.
